In no particular order whatsoever though the first five are my top five, and this is a list that is ever changing so....
1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - a love of mine since child and has my favoritest quote of all time, you should all know what it is.
2. Three O'Clock High - I was first introduced to this in directing class in college, and it is by far an amazing movie not only in terms of 80's awesome ness but writing, cinematography, editing, acting, i had to own it once i saw it.
3. Attack the Gas Station - caught this at Otakon, its just ridiculous, and whil i was mainly attracted to the comedic elements of it i later learneed that it was basically a social commentary on the youth at the times.
4. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm - Duh, just further proof why Bruce Timm is amazing.
5. Who Framed Rodger Rabbit - Another beloved film from childhood, there has yet to be any live action animated film to look as good, or as realistic looking as this When i watch this i can believe Eddie Valiant is grabby an animated rabbits ears. something Loony Tunes Back in Action lacked, along with many other things
6. Happiness of the Katakuris - One of many reasons Takashi Miike is a mad genius and can basically direct anything he wants and pull it off. Its a zany film about a family running a bed and breakfast where all their patrons kill themselves or die....and also a musical....with zombies.
7. The Dark Knight - Its not over rated, its rated just right. It is one of the best crime dramas ever mad, that just happens to have batman, the joker, and two-face in it.
8. Oldboy - if you havent seen this, you should. Not only is it a great mystery its twisted as all fuck. And yet still not the most depressing of the vengeance trilogy. Im still unsure of what the ending is, but like everyone i've got my opinion. I hope the long rumored american remake never gets made.
9. Princess Mononoke - My favorite Miyazaki film, probably because its the first one i saw. Its beautiful.
10. Battle Royale - I heard about this so i bought a bootleg copy....Needless to say it was amazing so i imported the UK directors cut. Just a great story and while not original concept even at the time it was written, its still pulled off amazingly...Like oldboy i hope the long rumored American remake never gets made.
Though i could easily list ten of each different genre.....which would be more accurate as i've so many. I wasn't even able to hint on any of my fantasy or horror films.
edit, can't believe i forgot my favorite superhero and animated movie of all time.
